Modern hard disk in Mega STE ?

[Lord-Chaos]

Anyone knows which drives are compatible to a MEGA STE ?

 

I still use my old 48MB HD , but after about 12 years , it gets more and more bad sectors and it´s time to replace it before nothing works anymore.

 

Can I use normal SCSI drives ?

 

I know that AMIGAs (I have an A1200) can use modern IDE drives with up to 4Gbyte without problems , but for bigger ones you need a new OS or some patch.

 

Is this the same on the ATARI ST ?

 

I don´t wand to get a big drive , maybe 1-2 Gbyte , this is enough for an ST with its small programs - compared to the huge PC programs.Never had a game with more than 5 disks on the ST , I think the one with 5 disks was Space Ace and this one isn´t really good ...

Hi!!!

Teorically every disc SCSII will be good for your Mega STE - ACSCII is small modifiet SCSII.

For IDE disc - I think, will be good Paskud IDE Interfeace (You can mounted one IDE disk and one IDE CD-ROM in one while). Ask Paskud (his web side you can find at: http://www.rsi.pl/~paskud/).

or you could try to do it yourself the ide interface

or a variant of the same ide interface
